Known for its diverse palate and regional cuisine, Italy’s culinary identity can be quite difficult to define. But pasta forms an integral part of its gastronomical personality and comes in a variety of different shapes and sizes and from many origins.⁠
.⁠
🇮🇹 Agnolotti - Most commonly crimped, square-shaped and stuffed with meat, agnolotti (priest hats) is the primary pasta of Piedmont, in the NW region of Italy.⁠
⁠
🇮🇹 Farfalle - Universally recognized as the “bow-tie,” farfalle borrows its name from the Italian word for “butterflies.” Despite its intricate design, this good-looking variety remains the signature pasta of the NW region of Lombardy.⁠
⁠
🇮🇹 Curzetti Stampae - Originating from the pastel-colored coastal stretch of the Italian Riviera, these “Corzetti stamps” are a fresh pasta unique to the NW region of Liguria.⁠
⁠
🇮🇹 Strozzapreti (priest-choker) is a hand-rolled variety of pasta from the northern Italian region of Emilia-Romagna.⁠
⁠
🇮🇹 Gigli (lilies) is a type of dried pasta from the lush-green patch-worked pastures of Tuscany in Central Italy.⁠
⁠
🇮🇹 Bucatini is a spaghetti-like pasta with a hollow center that comes from the central Italian region of Lazio. It derives from the Italian word, “buco,” meaning “hole.”⁠
⁠
🇮🇹 Spaghetti alla Chitarra is a variety of egg pasta from the Abruzzo region of Central Italy.⁠
⁠
🇮🇹 Penne (pen) is a well-known variety of Italian pasta that is said to have come from the south of Italy, in the region of Campania. ⁠
⁠
🇮🇹 Orecchiette (little ears) - Head southeast to Italy’s heel and you’ll find this pasta specialty of Puglia. ⁠
⁠
🇮🇹 Ziti (bridegrooms) is the chunkier Sicilian version of Campanian penne from the rugged, southernmost region of Italy.⁠

The picture of the left was almost 10 years ago and behind that smile was someone who was missing something. That girl who wanted more in life and to feel comfortable in her own skin again.
So much pain, struggle and disappointment with trying to diet for years. To think that you didn’t have to put in the work and some magic shake, pill or wrap was going to make her skinny. Even after having a crappy binge meal with friends and feeling so much better after quietly throwing up in the bathroom.
Fast forward to last year summer! A confident, strong AF chick who knows what she’s worth.
To know that taking care of herself is not selfish!
That being the best version of herself, mind, body & spirit will help her be a better women, mother, daughter and girlfriend.
Because when you’re at your best, you can do almost anything! Coaching has allowed me to stay accountable to not only our team but to myself. To know that these women are counting on me to show up everyday, to inspire and help them has kept me going this past 3 years!
